After six games, No. 16 FAMU has a perfectly placed bye week to focus on FAMU | G. Thomas

#FAMU is somewhere it hasn’t been in awhile — No. 1 in the conference during a bye week. It’s a much-deserved bye week for the Rattlers, who’s absorbed back-to-back strenuous road trips. But the work continues for the #SWAC’s top team.
